@call_me_star_please: A crowd surfing Santa Claus made Trent Reznor bust out laughing in the middle of ‘Head Like a Hole’ during the August 26, 2025 Nine Inch Nails concert in Philadelphia. This was legitimately my 50th time seeing NIN (my son’s first!) and I can’t ever recall seeing TR need a moment to get out a few laughs. Incredible show, as always, by @Nine Inch Nails - the greatest live band I’ve ever seen. If you have a chance to see this band live, run to the show! #nin #nineinchnails #@👑_02🔥🔥 trentreznor #fyp #santaclaus
